About what I did today
Today I did few things. I'm working on the transcription of a medieval text. Its only printed version is from the 1493, it's an incunabulum. It has a bunch of abbreviations and orthographical mistakes, and the fact that there is no digitalized manuscript to compare with doesn't help. I hope to finish it tomorrow. I already read some parts of the text while transcribing it and I liked what I could understand. Surely, it'll give me some tools for deciphering a problem I'm working on.
About wWhat I did today
I think it's fine to just say 'What I did today'.
Today I did few things.
'Few things' = I did not do much at all today.
'A few things' = I did a number of different things.
It is very confusing, but there is a difference between the two of them. I am not sure which one you meant to use here.
I'm working on the transcription of a medieval text.
Its only printed version is from the 1493, (and) it's an incunabulum.
You can put (and) here to be a bit more formal. Leaving it out sounds a bit more like a casual conversation than a written text, but it's fine.

Feedback
Transcribing medieval texts sounds interesting but difficult. Are you a historian or a researcher?
